It's not an email but I have used yousendit.com for years now. It's free and really easy to use. Add your files and it sends an email to the person or persons you want to send it to. They click on the link in the email and download the files. Really easy to use. www.yousendit.com

I've been taking 80-125 pictures for friends functions/parties which end up to be too large of mega bite files to send to them by by email. Sometimes I put them into a slideshow with music. What's a good way to send these pictures to them without having to use a zip file? I heard maybe SmugMug is a good program or Picasso.
Does anyone know of a good program that works well?

I don't know how many photos it will handle, but I usually use Power Point to make a presentation, save it as a PDF file, then send it as an attachment to my e-mail. I have sent about 60 photos at a time this way without a problem for me or the addressees.

For a photoshop class I am taking we transfer our 100mb files through a site called. transferbigfiles.com

You don't have to sign up for an account just drag you're files to the box in the middle of the screen and then a new send to box appears put the e mail where you are sending it and submit.

We have been using it for a couple of weeks it works great.

The instructor first had us using a site called copy. But the interface there was really confusing for most of the students but its another option maybe it won't look confusing to you.

If I want to provide files that they can print I just put them on a CD and give that to them, then they can do as they please, including taking the CD to the local Rite-Aid or Wal-Mart for printing.

If I want to e-mail them files for their perusal or use on Facebook, etc., I just use the "Save for Web" feature of PS Elements to reduce them to 600 pixels wide and convert then to a compressed jpg file which makes them a manageable 100kb or so.

I have used Shutterfly for years, like the options you have for file size when you upload.

Skydrive allows you to share up to 7 GB of photos with whomever. Just post them to your 'cloud' then just 'allow' whomever you want to get them. no need for storage. Any Question's???...

There is a downloader for Flickr whih can dowmload all the photos in a set or the whole thing. I have to go check on my computer and will post it here. Kodak gallery anyone? I think it lets users you approve to download.

Invite people to dropbox and you get more GB space. Give your friends a timeframe to download their photos and delete them after that.

Flickr has a free Terabyte of room. I have Lightroom and can load as many as I want at one time, and they look great. I would think that other PP programs could do that too.

Flickr is great but for having the receiver download photos, as far as I can tell, it has to be done one photo at a time. Facebook photos do not have much pixel power, and, again, you have to download one photo at a time. So that is not an option for downloading any. With Dropbox you have 2G for free, or more for a fee. You can use the Amazon.com cloud drive and get 5G for free. But if you are creating slideshows with music, the best quality would be sending a Cd or DVD by mail. Of course, if the people with whom you want to share are only going to LOOK at the photos and not download them, except for just a few, flickr.com is great for photos and small video clips and vimeo.com is good for a whole video or slideshow...but it is not for downloading.
